Testimonials

I was charged with Drink Driving, and the case looked hopeless, Abdul reassured me, and the CPS offered no Evidence. Abdul is certainly an Expert in Drink Driving and his handling of the case was outstanding HT

I was initially somewhat sceptical and the costs were high, but the result was excellent, and the money was certainly well spent. I would not hesitate to use DFR again. Nigel M

Abdul's expertise and empathy was outstanding in equal measure, on the face of it I was facing an open and shut case relating to Drink Driving, but abdul wizardry saved the day, and I kept my driving licence, I would highly recommend DFR solicitors. Michael

I have dealt with DFR Solicitors on two occasions, with Abdul Ali in particular. He was exceptionally knowledgeable and helpful at all times and I could not thank him enough for helping me with my cases. I would highly recommend him as he is excellent at what he does. Also his staff are very proactive at keeping the clients updated at every stage of the process. Vikesh Bundhoo

The service provided by Abdul was tremendous, he was always there when I needed to speak to him. As a young driver I was looking at a long driving ban, but the way Abdul presented my case lead to a brilliant outcome. I can't thank him enough, I would recommend Abdul to anyone.Kyle F

From start to finish Abdul was very compassionate and understood the situation completely and how it was effecting me emotionally. He guided me throughout the whole case and expertly presented the case at court. He was always an email away if I had any questions and was willing to meet up. Throughout the whole process I didn't feel like I was just any other client. He was excellent in representing me giving me the best chance to get the best possible outcome, which I did. I am very grateful for all his help. Carl Sykes

On behalf of Guy and myself, I just wanted to say a big thank you for all your work on my case.I’ll start with saying you’ve been absolutely fantastic, and we would most definitely recommend you to anyone else in our network. You have been professional throughout, yet still very approachable - we both feel you really helped to put us at ease and keep us level headed when we needed it most! I really appreciate the fact you took so much time early on in order to give your advice and help me prepare the strong documentation, and then after this, the time you spent meeting up with us in person before the court hearing. In doing all of this, you prepared us exceptionally well for what was about to come – I know other solicitors probably don’t go about things in the same way, but we felt the process you took us through played a crucial part of helping today go well. In particular I’d also like to say that it was clear you wanted to invest time and energy into understanding the specifics of our situation, circumstances, lives etc. You really understood things well and were able to accurately represent us in court. We also didn’t feel like we were just another number if you know what I mean.In court today, you were amazing in action. The way you balanced your level of professionalism with the passion for representing Guy and I to the magistrates was very impressive … and ultimately the result that you achieved for us (especially up in front of such a tough magistrate) far surpassed our hopes. In summary, money very well spent with you and I feel very glad I chose you – thank you so much. Hannah Leg

I contacted your firm to help my Husband with a motoring offence. My Husband was facing a penalty of 6 points on his licence, which as a new driver would mean losing his licence which in turn would mean losing his job. We were represented in court by Mr Ali who had advised us on the case. Mr Ali argued tenaciously with the Legal Advisor to the Magistrate on a point of law. He secured a 2 week suspension of my Husbands licence with no points awarded.I have no hesitation in recommending you firm/Mr Ali to anyone else finding themselves in a similar situation. Kujabi

Abdul was helpful and very approachable when I first made contact to explain the situation. It was reassuring that he had had experience in the field I needed help with. In terms of the outcome, I couldn't have asked for a better result. Although I didn't hear much from my solicitor beforehand, when it came to sorting the matter out on the day in question, everything was done and sorted in an extraordinarily quick time. The worrying matter of my conviction being overturned was done within a matter of minutes of Abdul representing me. Got the job done, thank you so much. Alicia Walsh

The service i received DFR Solicitors and in particular Abdul was nothing short of first class.From the outset Abdul reassured me, talked me through everything and put my mind at ease that I was in the best possible hands at a time of stress and panic. The process from our initial meeting was seamless and Abdul put plans in place for me to receive the best possible outcome in court with some ground work from myself.I honestly can't thank Abdul enough for his services, although he was there in a professional manner he also showed great understanding of my situation and helped me through a difficult time.I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending Abdul, thank you again. Carl Sykes

You certainly know what you are doing in court, your knowledge, experience and the delicate way in which you handled the magistrates really made the difference. It was my first time in front of a magistrate and it was clear to see that it could so easily have gone either way. They are not qualified, just people with too much time on their hands, who enjoy the power trip. You mentioned that you have to be completely compelling with your case, so they find it very difficult to impose a ban. This was certainly done on the day and we really appreciate your help. Simon Bedford

I was a heating engineer, and required my licence for work, everything I had worked for was hinging on my ability to drive. I instructed DFR and Mr Ali courteous and professional manner, and his excellence in court ensured that I kept my licence. I would recommend Mr Ali in the first instance for any motoring cases.

I had never been in court previously, and the prospect was terrifying. I was stopped for Drink Driving, and was looking at a significant disqualification. The result in the circumstances was unbelievable, the solicitor was excellent in presenting my case and explaining the extenuating circumstances. I was overjoyed with the final result. JL

I did not know what to do with the prospect of losing my licence terrifying. Abdul was excellent, right from the initial consultation right to the conclusion. I kept my licence and I am forever thankful. Great service from a great team of experts. If you want to keep your licence, then look no further than Abdul and his team. NM

The team at Keeping your licence were brilliant, after a difficult decision at the magistrates, they successfully appealed the decision to the Crown Court.I have recommended Abdul and his team to all that will listen. When I realised that I would have to go to court and could potentially be disqualified from driving for up to six months - I was shocked. In fact I went into a state of shock. I am not a criminal but over the course of 3 years had totted up 9 points. I drive circa 30,000 miles per year as part of my job. This is not an excuse just a fact. Would I lose my job? Would I lose my house? Would I lose my family? - all these thought were going through my head.I was put in touch with Abdul at DFR solicitors by a colleague. He did not only put me at ease but also was in touch with my wife and explained the process etc. to her. It was not a pleasant experience attending court etc. but it was made easier thanks to Abdul's professionalism, thoroughness and reassurance. Abdul is a specialist in this field - it is all he deals with.At the end of the process we achieved the result we desired - I kept my driving licence. To that end my family and I can't ever thank Abdul enough.If you are looking for a specialist motoring lawyer - then look no further than Abdul Ali at DFR solicitors. Matthew Bromham

I contacted DFR being prosecuted for speeding matter, the team at DFR were absolutely brilliant, they reassured me right from the beginning and their knowledge of a complex matter was second to none. The case was fixed for trial but on the day of the trial the prosecution relented and offered no evidence. I cannot thank Abdul enough, I have recommended them to anyone who will listen. A. Halliday
